Evansville native Dylan Meyer left a positive impression in his Web.com Tour debut after posting a 4-under par 67 in the final round of the Lincoln Land Charity Championship Sunday.

The University of Illinois senior recorded five birdies and one lone bogey to move 19 spots up the leaderboard and finish in a tie for 63rd at Panther Creek Country Club in Springfield, Illinois. Meyer finished 4-under for the tournament after shooting 69-69-75 in the first three rounds.

The Central grad competed as an amateur in his first professional tournament after receiving a sponsor's exemption. Meyer also received a sponsor's exemption into next month's John Deere Classic on the PGA Tour.

South Knox grad Adam Schenk won the tournament in a playoff to claim his first career Web.com Tour victory. Schenk, who finished the tournament at 14-under, made a 25-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole to defeat Eric Axley, Kyle Thompson and William Kropp.
